Bring a clip
Upload at least a second of audio; anything over 10 seconds is cut to a random 10. Pick those seconds with care, since short clips can make a song fall apart.
DiffRhythm AI song generator
Give it lyrics with a time on every line and a style to copy. Try the makers’ demo right here.
DiffRhythm comes from ASLP-lab and sings in Chinese or English. Its demo wants each lyric line written as [mm:ss.xx] and makes between 95 and 285 seconds of music, styled from a short audio clip or from a text prompt.
ASLP-lab hosts this demo on Hugging Face, where free machines are shared and a run may wait or fail. Nothing here touches your credits, and it isn’t part of our site.

You decide when each line lands
Most song makers guess the timing. Here you set it, so a badly timed line is yours to fix. The picture is “Lisbon in Our Eyes”, from our own generator, as an example of a gentle acoustic song to pace against.
Write the time first
A valid line looks like [00:10.00] and then the words. Lines without a time won’t follow the format.
Stay under the cap
The last time in your lyrics can’t be later than 04:45.00.
No lyrics yet?
The demo has a second tab for writing them, so you can start from a theme.
Two ways to choose the sound
The demo gives you an audio prompt or a text prompt. These two songs from our generator show the kind of contrast to ask for.
Or describe it
Switch to the text prompt for something like “indie folk ballad, acoustic guitar with harmonica”. Only use a clip you have the right to use.

DiffRhythm questions
How do I format lyrics for DiffRhythm?
Put the start time in square brackets before each line, as in [00:13.20] and then your words. An .lrc lyric file already looks like this, so you can paste one straight in.
Can DiffRhythm make a song shorter than 95 seconds?
Not in this demo: 95 seconds is the bottom of its slider. For something like a 30-second jingle, a different model or tool is the better choice.
Is DiffRhythm safe for paid projects?
We can’t say. Its page names two sets of terms that don’t say the same thing, so ask its makers before you sell work made with it.
